Setup and Installation
Installing Electrode Posts and Silicone Caps
Follow these steps to properly install the electrode posts and silicone caps onto your ABBIDOT training collar receiver:
- Select the appropriate electrode posts: Choose the short posts for dogs with short hair and the long posts for dogs with medium to long hair.
- Screw the electrode posts into the receiver: Gently twist the chosen posts into the designated holes on the collar receiver until they are secure. Do not overtighten.
- Apply the silicone caps: Slide the corresponding short or long silicone caps over the electrode posts. Ensure they fit snugly to provide double protection and comfort for your pet.
- Consider the Metal Shrapnel (for long/thick hair): For dogs with very long or thick hair, the included metal shrapnel can be used to extend the contact area. Attach it by sliding it under the electrode posts before securing them, ensuring the contact points align.

Using the Shock Test Tool
The shock test tool allows you to verify the functionality of the stimulation feature on your collar receiver:
- Ensure the electrode posts are installed on the receiver.
- Place the shock test tool over the two electrode posts.
- Activate the stimulation function on your collar's remote.
- Observe the light on the test tool. If it illuminates, the stimulation function is working correctly.

Operating Instructions
Choosing the Correct Prongs and Caps for Your Dog
The effectiveness and comfort of the training collar depend on selecting the correct contact points for your dog's coat type:
| Dog Hair Type | Recommended Electrode Posts | Recommended Silicone Caps | Additional Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Short-haired dogs | Short posts | Short caps | Ensures direct contact without discomfort. |
| Medium-haired dogs | Long posts | Long caps | Penetrates medium coats for effective contact. |
| Long/Thick-haired dogs | Long posts with Metal Shrapnel | Long caps | Metal shrapnel helps ensure consistent contact through dense fur. |
Important Usage Notes
- No Setup Needed for Non-Stimulation Use: If you do not intend to use the stimulation function of your collar, you do not need to install the electrode posts or silicone caps.
- Collar Wearing Duration: To prevent skin irritation, change the position of the receiver on your dog's neck every 2 hours. The total time your dog wears the receiver should not exceed 6 hours a day.
- Double Protection: The silicone caps provide an additional layer of protection, ensuring the conductive points do not directly irritate your pet's skin while maintaining effective contact.

Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance will extend the lifespan of your replacement parts and ensure continued effectiveness:
- Keep Dry: Always ensure the electrode posts and silicone caps are dry before and after use, especially if the collar has been exposed to moisture.
- Regular Cleaning: Periodically clean the electrode posts and the inside of the silicone caps with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dirt, oil, or debris that may accumulate.
- Inspect for Wear: Regularly inspect the silicone caps for any signs of wear, tears, or damage. Replace them if they appear compromised to maintain optimal protection and comfort. Check electrode posts for bending or corrosion.
- Storage: Store the replacement parts in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight when not in use.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ABBIDOT Replacement Prongs and Silicone Caps Set, refer to the table below for common problems and their solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Stimulation not felt/working (even with test tool) | Loose electrode posts; dirty contact points; incorrect prong length for dog's fur. | Ensure posts are securely tightened. Clean posts and receiver contact areas. Use longer posts or metal shrapnel for long-haired dogs. Verify collar battery level. |
| Silicone caps do not fit snugly | Incorrect cap size selected; caps are worn or stretched. | Ensure you are using the correct short/long cap for the corresponding post. Replace caps if they are damaged or stretched. |
| Skin irritation on dog's neck | Collar worn for too long; posts too tight; lack of silicone caps; allergic reaction. | Limit wearing time to 6 hours daily and reposition every 2 hours. Ensure collar is not overtightened. Always use silicone caps. Consult a vet if irritation persists. |
| Metal shrapnel does not stay in place | Improper installation; shrapnel is bent or damaged. | Ensure the shrapnel is correctly positioned under the electrode posts before tightening. Replace if damaged. |
